READY TO SMELL THE COFFEE

But am I trully ready to smell the coffee?

I would like to humuor myself and pretend that I loved the holidays. Honestly a part of me wishes I just remained at school in the hostel doing nothing, okay maybe coding or learning a new language, or hacking someone :)

But its 2016, 2nd January 2016 and I do not have even a pint of motivation for this year. I will be approaching my second semester and what I would like to call a countdown to my goal-at-22.

My boyfriend seems to have his life figured out. His goals all ironed out with precise time frames. I am happy, at least I am with someone who knows what we are up against and is on the same page as I am. I just feel a chapter behind him…or a couple of pages.

Sometimes I wake up and remind myself…“This is Africa!” Everyone is working overtime to get the lives they see on TV.

And while I am well versed with the facts, I seem not to be bothered. Like I am still in my zone. Did I need a small break, a vacation maybe? I did. And I did have it with Maa and my sister. But I can’t take a holiday similar to that which a person like Buffet would.

I may not be ready to smell the coffee but I have to smell the coffee. Whether I want to or not, life is going on. Everyday I waste somebody else is taking advantage of and getting closer to my goals than I am…because life is just one big competition.

I MUST SMELL THE COFFEE!
